My movie scared the global audience to tears

After raising his head and drinking down the wine, Mayor Cao put down the glass, took out the cigarette case, and handed it to Song Qi: "Do you want to smoke?"

Smoking is a signal for a break during the drinking party and a symbol of in-depth conversation.

Song Qi took a cigarette and touched his body. It seemed that there was no lighter installed.

Seeing this, Xu Chao on the side quickly handed over a lighter and diligently helped him light it.

Taking a puff of cigarette, Mayor Cao slowly exhaled and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Song, you started from scratch and built a company with a scale of hundreds of billions in less than ten years. You can definitely be called a business wizard."

.

I have a business question, can you please answer it?"

Song Qi nodded: "If you ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"good."

Mayor Cao put away his smile and asked seriously: "The existing offline escape room store industry in Shimen City has basically reached its end.

According to capital inertia, if there is no expected growth, I'm afraid your Miracle Film and Television will also slow down its investment in Shimen City, right?"

Song Qi did not deny it, nodded seriously and said: "Expansion is an eternal attribute of capital, but expansion also has limits. The current escape room industry in Shimen City has reached its limit. One thousandth of the city's population is engaged in this industry.

, the future will definitely not have the rapid growth momentum of previous years.

If we continue to expand as aggressively as we did in previous years, it will only damage the entire industry and plunge all escape room stores in Shimen City into a vicious cycle of vicious competition, causing more losses than gains."

"well!"

Mayor Cao sighed: "Of course I know, but no growth means decline! I just took office and caught up with this wave of capping. Those who understand the situation know that this is a legacy of history. Those who don't understand the situation think that I am capable.

There’s something wrong with the level! What should I do?”

Song Qi took a puff of cigarette but did not speak.

Ask him how to do it, what can he do?

Should we continue to pour money into Shimen City and open new stores? It’s obviously impossible!

As he said, the number of escape room stores in Shimen City has reached its limit, and even now the supply exceeds demand.

The market can no longer expand. Any further expansion will only mess up the existing market, which is not good.

Mayor Cao obviously knows this, but for the sake of political performance, he still has to bite the bullet and continue to think of ways.

After thinking for a while, he pondered and asked: "Mr. Song, I heard that your dinosaur park in Fuzhou is about to be built, right? Do you think it is possible to build a zombie-themed amusement park in Shimen City?"

Hearing his proposal, Song Qi sighed secretly.

As soon as Mayor Cao opened his mouth, he already guessed that this topic would be discussed.

Patiently, he explained to Mayor Cao: "The establishment of a theme park is not decided by a slap in the face, nor is it just a matter of throwing money. Its essence is to create a dream and reality for tourists.

There is no space for pure play.

I understand your leader’s thoughts. The development of zombie culture has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. So many zombie-themed movies have matured this market. It seems that there is soil that can support a zombie-themed theme park.

However, from a macro perspective, theme parks are actually large escape room stores, and escape room stores are small theme parks.

The escape room stores in Shimen City have formed a mature experience network. These thousands of stores are connected in series and have turned the entire Shimen City into a huge theme park.

In other words, a zombie theme park already exists, and the entire Shimen City is a large zombie theme park!

So, Shimen City has already become a zombie theme park, why do we need to enclose another piece of land and spend money to build a formal theme park?"

After hearing Song Qi's words, Mayor Cao looked a little ugly. He had never seen the impact of the escape room store industry on urban culture from this perspective.

Seeing him pondering for a long time, his brows still furrowed, Song Qi hesitated for a moment, and then suggested: "Actually, ticket revenue only accounts for a small part of Miracle Island Dinosaur Park's revenue, and most of it is consumed in the park.

Especially the giant screen cinema and the living exhibition area, the revenue from these two projects accounts for more than half of the revenue.

Therefore, I think the future development of Shimen City should be closer to refinement and branding, such as investing more in building several cultural squares, landmark attractions, and organizing more cultural festivals and other activities to attract more tourists.

, this will be more secure.”

After listening to Song Qi's words, Mayor Cao's frown deepened.

Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he patted his knees hard and said in a deep voice: "What you said makes sense! But these do not affect the construction of theme parks. Theme parks are the best landmark attractions! This

It’s also a kind of in-depth development!”

As he said that, he looked at Song Qi and asked with a smile: "Mr. Song, no matter what, the IP copyright is in your hands, so you still have to nod for this matter.

But don’t worry, as long as you agree to build a theme park, you don’t have to worry about the land. I can guarantee that I will definitely grant you the best and most suitable land!

You can rest assured about the money issue, I will help you get out the loan! Even if you risk my face, I will help you get out!"

"..."

Song Qi sighed secretly.

He knew it would be like this.

There is a kind of person in this world. When he asks for your advice, if you do give him advice, he will refuse to follow any of your advice and then make his own decision, as if this can show his level.

But everyone has said so and shown so much sincerity. If Song Qi still refuses to let go, it would be too disrespectful.

Therefore, Song Qi put out his cigarette, picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile: "The leader has said so, so it would be disrespectful of me to still resist.

Then I’ll listen to you, let’s settle this matter for now, and we’ll discuss it in detail later!”

"Haha! Okay!"

Mayor Cao was very happy. He picked up the wine glass with a red face and said: "Let's not talk about business anymore. We won't come back until we get drunk tonight! Come on! Let's do it!"

The wine glasses clashed, and the two drank the wine in one gulp, looking at each other and laughing.

Next, the wine table started mingling again.

Xu Chao and others finally played their role and began to take the initiative to attack, helping Song Qi attract firepower.

The meal lasted until about ten o'clock in the evening, and then the guests and hosts left happily.

Xu Chao called the crew's car over, picked up Song Qi, and took him back to the hotel.

Song Qi drank a lot and was already 70-80% drunk.

Xu Chao and the others were not the main force, so they didn’t drink too much. They were chatting and laughing excitedly after getting in the car.

They were very excited. This was the first time they attended such an important occasion, and the first time they heard how big multi-billion project projects were discussed.

Xu Chao sat next to Song Qi and looked at him with admiration: "Brother Qi, you are so awesome. I have only seen these leaders on TV, and they are actually begging you to invest. I really learned a lot today!"

Hearing his words, Song Qi twitched his lips and smiled.

In the eyes of Xu Chao and others, Song Qi was indeed glorious, but they could not imagine the weight of the burden on Song Qi's shoulders.
